Volunteers needed

We are looking for more volunteers for the Show & Sale, especially on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5. Jobs include cashiers and cashier assistants, general help (door monitors, plant hotel staff, show area monitor, etc.). If you want to help out, please contact volunteer coordinator Dave Roberts as soon as possible.

Volunteers will have an exclusive hour of shopping (Friday, May 3, 12:00 PM –1:00 PM) before the public is admitted. This gives them first dibs at the goodies brought by the vendors – a huge benefit because many rare plants are only available in limited quantities and sell quickly. In addition, volunteers will be fed lunch on all days that they volunteer.
